Hello all

The definition at dcterms:modified is "Date on which the resource was changed".
Since there is no article specifying "Date" and no cardinality constraint, some people interpret it as "a date" and some as "the (latest/last) date".
In LOV curation, we find vocabularies with multiple values of dcterms:modified, which rely on the first interpretation, but we see also for example RADion at http://www.w3.org/ns/radion#dcterms:modified saying :

Definition     The dcterms:modified property fully represents the RADion property Date of Last Modification.
Usage Note     RADion uses this to provide the date of latest update of the Repository, Asset or Distribution ...

Many other vocabularies define a "modified" or "last modified" property, see http://lov.okfn.org/dataset/lov/search/#s=modified
... with a majority seeming to opt for "last/latest".

What do you DC gurus think?
